Village Piscataquog River Pedestrian Bridge

About the Village Pistcataquog River Pedestrian Bridge Ad Hoc Committee:

The Village Pistcataquog River Pedestrian Bridge Ad Hoc Committee was created by the Goffstown Select Board in July 2020 to explore opportunities and obstacles for constructing a pedestrian bridge across the river in the location of the old railroad bridge that was destroyed by fire in 1976.

The Committee's evaluation shall result in a report detailing the feasibility of constructing a pedestrian bridge in the location of the old railroad bridge across the Pistcataquog River in the Village.
The report should include considerations for property acquisition/swaps, design elements and budgeting estimates, and suggestions funding mechanisms.
This Ad Hoc Committee will not design a pedestrian bridge at this location. This Ad Hoc Committee's mission is to study the feasibility of constructing a pedestrian bridge at this location.
